[Verse]
Back in the day when the king had is way
He hunted wild game and ate his dead prey
Feast after feast obsessed with fresh meat
King Henry The Eighth was clinically obese
He was rather curvy in his latter pursuits
He died of scurvy from a lack of fruits
And vegetables at age Fifty-Five
The wealthiest man in the British Isles
[Verse]
Deep in the desert live the Maasai tribe
Drink blood from the neck while the cattle's still alive
Drink milk from the mother cow fed to the sick
Eat raw flesh to repress hunger pains quick
For survival so we cannot call it naughty
On this diet Maasai lucky if they live to forty
We stand on the shoulders of these ancient tribes
And that diet has evolved to expand our lives
[Verse]
Up in the igloos living on ice
Where tribes of Inuits be rolling the dice
On the worst conditions it's not superstitious
When the only thing to eat are gigantic fishes, hey!
Because there's no snow-carrots
No iceberg lettuce, no frozen peppers
Living in the skin of the meal you hunted
An Eskimo's life is severely stunted, c'mon!
[Chorus]
But you can grow abundance in your garden
Grow abundance in your garden
Grow abundance in your garden
Live among animals but just don't harm them
And sing ahimsa for all beings
Sing ahimsa for all beings
Sing ahimsa for all beings
'Cause non-violence is what it means, yeah!
[Verse]
In the twenty-first century heart disease
Is the number one killer of our species
Caused by clogged arteries
From eating meat, milk, butter, eggs, and cheese
The only way clinically proven to reverse this
Is a diet of whole food plant-based surplus
Preferably local, preferably veganic to preserve our planet
[Verse]
We all sense that it feels safer when you
Know human babies are off the menu
Homo sapiens have progressed
From a cannibal past to civil animals dressed
But the occasion is called silver service
Which sentient being doesn't deserve this
Right to life, right to choose
Right to be living in your shoes
[Verse]
Non violence to animals happens to be
One of the oldest ethical philosophies
That pre-dates written text and religion
Take a look at Pythagoras' kitchen
Take a look at Jainists and Hinduism
Happened centuries before veganism
Female wisdom was burnt at the stake
We've come a long way
Time to look at our plate and say hey!
This is not ok
[Chorus]
When you can grow abundance in your garden
Grow abundance in your garden
Grow abundance in your garden
Live among animals but just don't harm them
And sing ahimsa for all beings
Sing ahimsa for all beings
Sing ahimsa for all beings
'Cause non-violence is what it means
[Outro]
Sing ahimsa
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
Sing ahimsa
Ahimsa
Ahimsa
'Cause non-violence is what it means
Non-violence is what it means
